1t is understood that late Congressman
kleiuer, of Indiana, who was not reelected,
will move his family and become full citi-
zen OF Dakota this spring. He has made
considerable investments about Pierre and
in the Black Hills, and will be q valuable
acquisition, especially to tue Democratic
party, as he is not identified with any faction
or special interest.
The Milbank Index which is closely related
to the retiring board OF railroad commission
ers, is not satisfied with the new board. Ir
insists that Central Dakota has no represent
alive on it, and there is no representative
farmer-a belt of 2t0 miles has no represent
alive. Smith should move 10 miles farther

The people had high hopes of tho recent
Legislature and were disposed to regard it as
inaugurating new and better era, but as its
work is summed up and all the measures re-
strictive OF railroads and monopolies are
found to have failed, and the appropriations
run up to some 81, 100000, there is a great

The Lead City Tribune says that the past
year and the first two months Of the present
one have been the most gloomy to farmers
and stock growers in the history of the Black

As Diana has five artesiau wells and some
sixty in the vicinity, a petition was numer-
ously signed asking the legislature to change
the name to Artesian City. They probably

that all towns having five arlesian wells
should be called Artesian City,
The rising boom at Yankton is taking on
proportions and capitalists are fiocking there
and investing from every quarter. The past
week over $50 900 worth of lots and lands to
be laid out in lots changed hands. The pros

prairie fires. by taking $500 in money and
life pass good on the 5000 miles or so of that
company. He is now trying to find out
whether his pass will be good under the inter-

| man named Buch came out from North
Carolina to see how Dakota compares with
his state, and was so pleased that he last
week filed on claim in Emmons county and
will send foe his family. He thinks there
would be a large migration from the South if
people would come out and see what Dakota
really is.
Bev. J. P. Wilkinson, of Moody county, is
spending the winter IN Florida for his health,
I and writes back that any Dakota farmers
who think of moving to Florida should make
| their fortunes before going, as there is very

Cakes, the junction of the Northwestern
and Northern Pacific in connecting the sec
tons, is already giving signs OF lively
season. The town is thronged with strangers

The Flandreau Enterprise thinks that one of
the best appointments made by Gov. Church
is that of DR.. Spaford, of Flaudreau, as vice

on Sundays. The saloon men insisted that it
should cover every class of business. and not
